 Fabrizio Guido — the LA-born actor tearing it up as Jackie Moreno on Netflix’s Running Point opposite Kate Hudson, and recently named to Variety’s 2025 Young Hollywood Impact Report — sits down with Lynn Hoffman on this encore episode to trace his surprising leap from the screen to the stand-up stage. Fabrizio opens up about the night Gabriel Iglesias pushed him into his very first set with two weeks’ notice, what it felt like to bomb (and why he now sees it as freeing), and how growing up steeped in LA community theater shaped his old-soul, young-heart sensibility. He also gets candid about turning trauma into material, the “shared language” of comedy on the Running Point set, and the advice he’d give anyone thinking about picking up a mic for the first time. Plus: why he’s “not entirely him” without comedy pulling his focus in the right direction.
